Being born n brought up in 60s in Kolkata, I have seen and participated in the student movements of SFI during 80s, heard about the rich history of the political group et al. Things began changing during early '90s and I left kolkata like many other like minded people as the state govt started showing its other side of the face. Things became worse later on and it still continues. Soon we are going to see the ugliest face of this 'sarkar' which will resemble and perhaps override the similar situation in Bengal prior to '77, the 'raj' of congress. Population of Bengal brought these monsters of today in '77 ( when they were really energetic under the dynamic leadership of Jyoti Basu ) and they will only take them out of the business. Problem is one only, to continue the politics of 'paiye deoa ' ( read : to make others get something and me governing all )It did work well for 3 decades ( longest in the world ! ) and they hired the best best brains for that. After all, its not easy to fool the educated, intelligent and intellectual electorate of Bengal and they DID it for 3 decades in a row. I appreciate the guys.But now its a complex situation, resources are limited ( as they never bothered to let the economy grow, people flourish, set up industries and all, they just maintained their duties of how to get the vote banks filled up and in the process did some comendable job in agri sector as well, no denying of that. But it was part of the strategy only, not looking at the eyes of the poors and have nots, intention was mising )and the list of ' paiye deoa ' people is too large. They are lurking and threatening of taking away support with which the most scientifically managed vote hacking takes place in Bengal, now what the govt will do, they have little choice. They are bringing more and more Harsh Neotias in the form of TATAS and SELIMS. The investors are happy too, multi million project at throw away price! who stops investing? That too at the cost of thousands ( may be lacs as of today ) auto drivers, whose profession will be in a critical point as the three wheelers will have automatic exit at the entry of 1 lac rupee taxi! I saw Metro Railway under construction during school days and when I was about to get married at 30, it started full operation, the first of its kind in India and the longest time taken to complete the same in the world! Public life gone under several stress during those two decades of 'metro making', the city became a hell ( which continues to be, today also ). Anyway, no more speech, let's hope for the best in the coming days ahead, may GOD bless all good minded people and curse the reverses, to make this world, country and state at the top once again. 1.
